Chapter 1033 Big Surprise for Senior Sister (Part 2)

Forget it, let's leave the car as it is, it's just a commuter car, I guess the senior sister cares more about sniper rifles.

To tell the truth, domestic sniper rifles are relatively lacking. At first, only Mosin Nagant sniper rifles were used. Later, Lao Maozi’s SVD was imitated, which became the 79-type sniper rifle and the improved 85-type sniper rifle finalized in 1979. These two are essentially imitations of SVD, but there are slight differences in the production process and some subtleties.

The Type 85 began to be equipped with troops in 1987. In the following ten years, the gun was widely equipped with our army, domestic armed police and public security special police forces, and was exported.

Since the Soviet Union was a socialist country at that time and did not recognize intellectual property rights, it did not pursue such a direct imitation of the Soviet Union.

Although the Type 79/85 has the advantages of long range and high power, it also has the disadvantages of large recoil, high noise, less ammunition, and poor maneuverability. In particular, the full gun length of more than 1200mm is not suitable for street fighting environment and access to fortifications and vehicles, nor is it convenient to covertly enter the scene when dealing with emergencies. On the other hand, the excessive weight of the whole gun increases the load of individual soldiers, making it inconvenient to carry for long distances, and not suitable for combat in mountainous and jungle areas.

Then there is the Type 88, which is familiar to everyone and is being used in active service. But nothing is perfect. Although the overall performance of the 88-type sniper rifle is excellent, some shortcomings have been exposed during the use of the troops and need to be further improved. Corresponding to the Type 88 is the Type 97 sniper rifle, which is a foreign trade type of the Type 88 and fires 5.56mm NATO bullets.

The JQ-type 12.7mm large-caliber sniper rifle only solved the problem of availability, and did not catch up with foreign products in terms of range accuracy, recoil and versatility.

Therefore, the current domestic situation is that there are Type 88 for small calibers, Type 85 for medium calibers and Type 00 (L115A3) later produced by Guo Tailai, and Type JQ for large calibers. Among them, only Type 00 can be called the world's largest At the advanced level, the others basically belong to the problem of whether it has been solved, and it has not yet reached the point of solving the problem of good or bad.

It's normal for senior sister to care more. The problem of historical debts cannot be caught up overnight, but the senior sister really wants to catch up. If there is no advanced ammunition, then even NATO's ammunition that has been tested in actual combat will be used first. In this regard, Guo Tailai's 00-style is a typical one, and it uses the international one. 338 Lapua Magnum special sniper ammunition, in fact, many high-performance sniper rifles in the future will use this 8.6mm sniper ammunition.

Domestically, there are many requirements for the design of firearms, and the versatility must be good. The tests in various complex environments are particularly strict. Many world-renowned guns have failed to pass the strict Yellow River sediment test in my country, such as the famous bullpup rifle Steyr AUG. , Everything was fine in the previous test, but it failed the Yellow River sediment test, so I had to give up with regret.

However, good versatility and durability in various environments are achieved at the expense of accuracy. Therefore, it is unlikely that these standards will apply to high-precision sniper rifles. Need high precision and durability? Whose high-precision sniper rifle can be soaked in water and sand if it is okay, and it will be crushed by a jeep at every turn? After playing like this, can the shooting accuracy of the barrel be guaranteed? Or can the installation accuracy of the sniper scope meet the requirements for shooting from a distance of one kilometer?

Therefore, Guo Tailai considered more about high precision, low weight, good balance, short size, easy to carry, and good man-machine function, and then naturally chose the no-support structure, which was consistent with the original intention of the Type 95 and also in line with the domestic The design ideas of weapons and equipment at this stage are similar.

After pondering for a while, Guo Tailai finally chose the SRS sniper rifle with a bullpup structure rotating rear-pull action from Desert Tactical Arms (DTA for short). The full name of the SRS sniper rifle is "Stealth Recon Scout". ), the structure is simpler, the weight is lighter, and the production and maintenance are easier.

In addition to all the advantages of bullpup rifles, the SRS has a feature that shooters like very much, that is, the SRS caliber conversion function. Its rifle receiver and magazine are completely universal, and it can be switched between several calibers just by changing the barrel and bolt. The caliber conversion function gives the rifle greater flexibility in many types of missions, and the smaller caliber is sufficient for combat in urban environments. Moreover, the same weapon can be converted into a variety of caliber designs, so that the shooter only needs to be familiar with one rifle system, which is conducive to reducing training costs and improving training efficiency.

SRS rifle has four caliber support,. 338 Lapua Magnan,. 308 Winchester Magnum, . 300 Winchester (7.62X51mm NATO) and. 243 Winchester, basically a medium caliber sniper rifle.

However, DTA later released a series of large-caliber bullpup-less sniper rifles based on the SRS rifle, named HTI, which means "Hard Target Interdiction". In terms of structural principles, the HTI rifle and the SRS rifle can be said to be the same, basically an enlarged and strengthened SRS rifle.

HTI sniper rifles also come in four calibers. 50BMG,. 416 Barrett,. 408 Cheyenne tactics and. 375 Cheyenne tactics. But now two high-precision bullets of Xia'an tactics have appeared, but. The 416 Barrett bullet has not yet been released. Guo Tailai was thinking about whether he should get ahead of Barrett himself, and put . 416 Barrett's ammunition launched first? It can also be regarded as a special large-caliber sniper bomb that is reasonable in China. Or put. 460 Steyr also come out in advance? The ballistic performance of the two bullets is comparable. 50 is too strong. But forget it, the bullet is too complicated, so it's better not to be so troublesome.

Like SRS, HTI can be freely converted among these 4 calibers. The barrel lengths of the four calibers are all 29 inches, but the size of the muzzle brake is different, so the length is slightly different, but the length is very close.

This time, basically all the designs of medium and large caliber sniper rifles are assembled. After pondering for a while, Guo Tailai still lowered the caliber, based on SRS, simply reduced the design of some receivers and magazines, and used 5.45mm Soviet-made small-caliber ammunition, 5.56mm NATO-standard ammunition and 5. The heavy ammunition used by the 8mm88 sniper rifle is included, thus forming a small-caliber series. Of course, Guo Tailai estimated that the 5.8mm heavy ammunition must be used in China, and no other ones will be used, so that the logistical pressure is the least.

Because of the floating barrel, and the bipod is on the handguard, unlike the Type 88, which is fixed on the barrel, the shooting accuracy is less affected. In fact, the range of the Type 88 is not far, within a few hundred meters, the impact of this is really negligible.

However, the 620mm barrel with the same length as the Type 88 is used, but because of the difference between the receiver and the butt, the length of the small-caliber SRS is shorter than that of the Type 88, and the weight is just four kilograms, which is also lighter than the Type 88. So little.

In this way, a sniper rifle with a structure can meet the use of bullets of nine calibers in the three ranges of large, medium and small. 416 Barrett and. After the launch of 460 Steyr, two more calibers will be added, which must be enough for the current use of domestic troops, right?

Perhaps the senior sister will be very happy to see all this.
